Students will be able to think critically about Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, cultural interaction, cultural conflict, role of the government, role of the environment, the role of attitudes, lessons learned, and the legacy of the expedition. Through my creative and engaging style students will develop their own historical viewpoint on the meaning of Lewis and Clark. Through discussion (seminar) we will discuss the trip, choices made, and impact that each member had in the expeditions success. 

I have BA in history and secondary education from the University of Northern Colorado, two Masters degree (one in educational leadership and the second in Career and Technical Education). I have 16 years as a history and English educator covering historical content that is not always the happiest. I always take great care, planning, and frame material to allow students to think like a historian and also think critical about concepts that could be sensitive. I take each topic with the upmost care, professionalism, and assist students to progress towards an upper level thinking; like high school to the college level of understanding on topics that are a little historical sensitive in nature - but extremely relevant and important. 

宿題が提供されます
Any homework would be short readings with seminar discussion questions either created by Mr. G and/or the students during our class. The first class we will get to know each other, how we all learn, introduce the topic, and cover the three leveled questions to the seminar style.
